"Not taking out as much debt as possible when rates were zero" - a very good point. I'm allergic to debt but yeah I should have done that.

Likewise. I’m just now finding that it makes sense to take reasonable amounts of calculated, low-APR debt in order to invest more in my own higher APY fund.

Yea, I think listening to Dave Ramsey's advice for years kept me much more poor than I otherwise would be. For example 0-1% interest rates I should have been loading up - but listening to Dave at the time he made it sound like a 7 deadly sin. He is right on a few things financial related, but the vast majority he is completely off on.
